As an artist who was fortunate enough to work on this, I can tell you there is SO MUCH more to see. Even as we were working, we knew this is going to be a special film. A lot of heart went into each and every frame you see on screen. Can't wait to watch it!

[SoWhyX]

I like the trailer but it makes it seem as if the film is focusing too much on humans and not enough on rats who were the real main characters in the book while the humans were tertiary characters at best

[Cylos]

this looks like a sanitized version of the book with much more human added. This is a DARK book with similaritys to 'secret of nihm' or 'even watership down' at moments.
There is a shot of sardines dancing in the rat pit, and its pretty clean considering it was filled with blood and dead rats in the book.
The two kids seem to have been aged up considerably and 'the stupid looking kid' Kieth would never say he loves her. Maurice was not a nice character in the book till the climax, charming maybe, but hes a stray cat that uses people.
They will NEVER use the rat king from the book as a villain here.
The whole theme of the book was existential dread of what it means to be self aware

Please be as wonderful as I want it to be. This is one of my favourite Terry Pratchett books. This looks fantastic.

Had a great time working on this movie as a Character Animator. Hope the audience and Terry Pratchett fans like the movie.

[jlorna]

The book that this is based on sparked my deep love of Rats. I've now been rat daddy to many of these amazing little characters and all of them have stolen a little piece of my heart.

[heikohentschel]

Finally!!! Now I'm satisfied. :-) Thanks to all the wonderful artists who helped create this movie.

[oakstrong]

Just look at the cat: an over-cute version of Garfield. It certainly difficult to imagine it being the cat from Terry's book!

[vonniebunny]

This... is a lot more bright and colorful than I ever imagined the world was in the book. also a lot... nicer. something in the vein of Coraline would have been much better.

[Spark_Books]

I just finished reading the book and it was terrific. A lot darker than this movie. Terry Pratchett made the book more realistic because he believed his young readers could handle it. And there were many real-life lessons that did not transfer to this sanitized movie adaptation. This movie is entertainment. The original book is a story that will stick with you for the rest of your life.

Terry Pratchett + Hugh Laurie + David Tennant = Win

[philliptivis]

This is one of my favorite books written by my absolute favorite author. That's a high bar to clear, Sky, and I sincerely hope you pull it off.

[posterisedobserver]

Having just finished the novel, I don't think you could have struck further from the vibe.

[karrinajj]

The first ever Terry Pratchett book I ever read 📚 ❤️

[verylostdoommarauder]

Just when I started wondering when the next Discworld adaptation would be, this trailer showed up. Great.

[chatonf]

I've just went to the very first projection of Maurice the fabulous, at the Utopiales festival in Nantes, and I can't wait to see it again when it will be released. I hope it will be well distributed in France (and elsewhere of course). It deserves it, it is a masterpiece!

[DannyBeans]

Sky has a decent track record when it comes to adapting Pterry's work. I'm cautiously optimistic.

[BanShee]

“And I say take two, sir, ” said Maurice urgently. “Two of mine, and call it quits?”

[no-lifenoah]

The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents was the first full-length novel I ever read, so I really hope this movie is good.

[squirrelmanning]

So glad this great book has been made into a film!
